How long have you been okay with people paying for policy? How long have you been okay with the erosion of our democracy? How long have you felt that democracy is not about the vote and will of the people but of the money that influences politicians? Do you always back two-faced candidates that don't follow through on the promises they made to the people who then voted for them?
As to your false assumption that my candidate has no merits, here is a list of some Bernie's many merits.
He's not bought and paid for by Wall Street and the insurance companies.
He' fighting to break the big banks apart.
He's honest.
He's liberal.
He's fighting for working people.
He's fighting to get medicare for all.
He'd rather have diplomacy with Iran than war with Iran.
He's against the TPP and 'free trade'.
He's for 'fair trade.
He's for equality for ALL.
He's for $15/hr minimum wage.
He's against the private prison industry.
He wants to bring back Glass-Steagall.
He doesn't lie to win.
He doesn't change his policy positions at will depending who he's talking to and when.
He is energizing.
He's positive.
He speaks truth to power.
He's authentic.
Your turn. You don't seem to think your candidate can win if she discloses what she said to the banksters. Doesn't say a lot about her or your belief that she isn't bought and paid for. Let's see you defend your candidate on that.
